Is Boris lying again

[Howslifenow]

Today on one of the select committee meetings Boris said 1% of the schools have got impacted by Covid in UK.
Assuming 35000 schools in UK, this equals 350 schools.
Mayor of Manchester today says 120 schools in Manchester have been impacted.
That leaves 230 schools rest of UK.
Are we being taken as mugs again.
Why are we not given this information.

There’s 9 schools in our town. None have had a positive test result yet. But that doesn’t mean none are Affected. I know at least 6 have staff away waiting for tests and those 6 also have dc at home waiting for test results. I can’t image the other 3 are any different. I would be amazed if any school has a full attendance this month! (Maybe there will be the odd one in Very remote Areas, but they are going to be a very small minority).
Having various staff and dc absent is going to prove hugely tricky to teachers trying to actually teach anything and I imagine there will be huge gaps in knowledge by the end of term.

You are all being unreasonable for getting in all my jokes before I find the thread 😂

Didn't the Headmaster of Eton write to his father to complain that Boris doesn't think the rules apply to him? Well, he had great insight into his personality I'd say.

Is anyone surprised?

Well Ed Miliband did a fantastic job exposing his lies yesterday

Pope. Catholic.

That man wouldn't know what the truth is if it jumped up and smacked him in the mouth.

Day before yesterday*

First thought when I saw this - 'almost certainly'.

Such a liar!

Yes. Miliband was excellent. He lost because of a burger. We missed a better leader.

He lies a lot.
Says there are 350,000 tests at the moment.

In fact, 120,000 of them are for seeing if people have had it in the past (antibody tests) so there's about 230,000 tests we have the capacity for to see if people have Covid 19)

So he is used to lying.

Johnson actually said today that he doesn't recognise references to the "moonshot" bollocks. He's actually trying to deny something which was recorded and broadcast to all of us. It's just extraordinary that he cares so little about lying that he will do something as blatant as that, but it's extraordinarily depressing that his fanboys and girls will go along with it.

Has he said something?

Then yes, he's lying.

@Arnoldthecat

Why would he lie? The opposition are razor sharp and would surely catch him out immediately.

They do. He just plays the clown in PMQs rather than rise to the challenge and provide answers

If Boris stood up and said "this is a lie"

I'd think he was telling the truth!

Are his lips moving?

Then, yes.

Our plan – this moonshot that I am describing – will require a giant, collaborative effort from government, business, public health professionals, scientists, logistics experts and many, many more.

Am loving it . The ad mumsnet algorithm has chosen for me for this post is : " what is your iQ"

Was he wearing fake blonde hair?

Sorry should have spelt it out am with all the other posts here: if he's breathing./moving his mouth
.

Of course he lies ..it's an essential part of his psyche .. He always has metaphorical crossed fingers and has relied on humour charm and waffle ( and cowardice) to evade responsibility all his adult life...its a form of psycopathy ...I wonder if Carrie still comes on here to check out the comments ..keep your wits about you girl ..actually I think she's much sharper than him and has him sussed.

Boris lies rather than talks.

@Howslifenow

Yes. Miliband was excellent. He lost because of a burger. We missed a better leader.

No it was a bacon sandwich I think.

Johnson probably lies without even realising he's doing it now.

What do you mean impacted .? Most of those tested have been negative so impacted by colds anD the excess demand in testing?

But not actually impacted by covid ?

Is Boris lying again?

Does the Pope wear a funny hat?
